Height Adjustment of Arms
Tools Required:
√ 19mm (3/4”) Open end wrench
√ 10mm (3/8”) Open end wrench
This adjustment may be required if, as the awning Lead Rail closes into the awning casing, the ‘elbow’ of
one of the arms is hanging downward, hitting the bottom of the casing. This adjustment is usually
required after an arm replacement
1) Open the awning about 18 inches.
2) At the selected arm, loosen the (2) locknuts located at the side of the upper arm connection
using a 19mm (3/4”) open-end wrench.
3) See exploded view and Figure 7. Locate the smaller adjustment bolt located directly under
the rear locknut that was just loosened. Place a 10mm (3/8”) open-end wrench around the
bolt head, and rotate the wrench in a TIGHTEN (clockwise direction) to raise the arm.
Slight rotation is all that is necessary; Likewise, LOOSENING (counter clockwise direction)
the bolt will lower the arm. As this adjustment is being performed, keep in mind that after
re-tightening the locknuts, the arm will rise slightly higher.
4) Tighten the (2) locknuts located on the side of the arm connection.
5) Close the awning completely, and check for proper fit.
